Chapter 1660 - 1660. Complex
'Finally,' Noah sighed in his mind once the passage to the void disappeared. 'My black hole has grasped the laws of space. I only need to turn them into thoughts now.'
The black hole had a deeper connection with space. Noah's existence spread into many fields, but his fourth center of power could find a link to that new aspect.
Understanding slowly flowed inside Noah's mind. The black hole didn't hide anything from him, but his consciousness had to translate those faint instincts into proper thoughts.
'This is so complex,' Noah sighed while reviewing the immense mass of information that reached his mind.
Space was a complex field. It was the foundation of the very world, but it could also be as simple as the void. It didn't have a proper form, but it existed everywhere.
Noah felt able to see the threads that kept the Immortal Lands together as his understanding increased. The world wasn't just sky and ground anymore. It had layers of various densities that divided different dimensions.
That area of the Immortal Lands only had two big dimensions. A firm layer divided the actual world with the void. It seemed that those environments existed in the same place, but they were also far away.
Noah raised his arm, and dark matter covered the tip of his fingers. He waved his hand multiple times, and he soon touched a lump of solid air.
The air wasn't actually solid, but his fingers could touch the layer that divided the dimensions. That was the same effect generated by Miss Void's spell, but Noah could activate it on his own now.
'I might not need the special darkness anymore,' Noah thought while arching his fingers and forcing them to pierce that firm layer.
Cracks spread around his fingers. Noah was stabbing his hand into the void, but he stopped before entering that realm.
His aura then spread into the layer to create a third dimension. Noah was building his version of the Shadow Domain without requiring the special darkness discovered by Miss Void.
'It's harder than I thought,' Noah noted in his mind. 'My darkness doesn't suit this procedure, but I have far more of it. This higher consumption is worth it.'
Noah's existence was still in the process of absorbing those new laws, so his darkness had yet to become ideal for dealing with space. It would eventually match the qualities of the special darkness, but he already saw benefits in using his own energy.

The issue became even greater when it came to entering the Shadow Domain. It took a lot of special darkness to transfer his body into that dimension, and he could barely keep up with that consumption.
Ideas on how to improve his movement techniques surged in his mind. Noah's new understanding made him label his sprint obsolete since a simple acceleration didn't reflect what he had learnt about space.
Only his teleport touched that understanding, but its power still belonged to a weaker realm. Noah had just obtained a complete view of the laws of space, but he could already imagine a fusion between that movement technique and the Shadow Domain.
'To think that this understanding could even improve my second project,' Noah laughed in his mind as the memories obtained from Sword Saint reappeared in his mind.
The singularities didn't exactly deal with space, but they appeared after a clash between dense powers. His destruction and creation generated forms of energy that could destroy everything, even the fabric of the world, if an area was too frail.
The singularities had the same structure as the black hole, but they contained far less energy. That feature allowed Noah to change their shape and turn them into slashes or piercing attacks. Yet, they had to transform to evolve, and that required more power.
Noah had only been able to rely on sword arts and spells to contain and discharge that power since his understandings didn't cover space. Still, he could now rely on those laws to improve his attacks in ways that he didn't consider before.
'I need to acc.u.mulate energy until it transforms into a singularity,' Noah thought while reviewing Sword Saint's memories. 'The energy then has to condense until it reaches a critical state. Discharging it on a precise path is the hard part, but I might be able to do it with my new understanding.'
Noah's fingers itched to test his new power, but he forced himself to remain inside his training area. He wanted his existence to adapt to the recent enlightenment, and only cultivation sessions could lead to that change.
'Using the chaotic laws of the Devils makes even more sense now,' Noah exclaimed while his centers of power expanded. 'My existence usually needs breakthroughs to adapt to eventual changes, but that energy can instantly empower it. I can actually evolve now,'
Noah didn't know if his existence could evolve anymore. Even King Elbas had mentioned that issue when the duo had their conversation. However, his new understanding had broadened his ambition and opened the path for a possible evolution.
'The others have yet to contact me,' Noah thought as he began to plan his next move. 'They probably are busy with their missions, which means that I can continue to focus on my power.'
The three upper tier cultivators had given to the group multiple possible destinations. Noah could even continue to search for other floating lakes if he d.e.s.i.r.ed.
The other teams would probably return as soon as they managed to rescue some natives since they wanted to obtain rewards from the main lake, but Noah didn't care about that. Actually, he would rather avoid the three upper tier cultivators until he became able to defeat them.
'I should reach the liquid stage before meeting the three leaders again,' Noah planned. 'I also need time to submit Harold and become used to my new power. Returning right now is off the table.'
Noah immediately stood up once he made up his mind. His consciousness expanded to reach Harold's mind and send orders that he couldn't ignore.
'We are going to search for the other natives,' Noah shouted through his mind. 'Meet me on the surface. It's time to move.'
'Are you going to slaughter anyone who follows Heaven and Earth again?' Harold asked in a teasing tone.
'Of course,' Noah laughed while piercing the ceiling and landing on the uneven surface. 'The war has already begun, and my anonymity is my only advantage. I must tilt the scales of the battle in my favor before the fight begins.'
'And you want me to help you, I bet,' Harold sighed while landing in front of Noah.
"I'd rather leave you behind," Noah said with his voice. "I need to try some stuff, but I won't stop you if you want to fight."
His words left Harold speechless. Forcing the experts to fight would put him on Noah's side in the eyes of the other experts. It was the perfect ploy to rope him in Noah's plan, but the latter didn't seem to care about that.
Harold had yet to make up his mind about Noah, but the recent interactions had slowly begun to affect his ideas. A tinge of envy toward Noah's underlings even appeared inside him.
Harold had started to consider how it would be to have Noah as a leader, and he cursed in his mind when he couldn't find many flaws. It was a strange feeling, but the expert preferred to suppress it for now.
